Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An embeddable trail-map product lets ski resorts add explorable 3D terrain, runs, lifts, and resort data with one script and a custom HTML element.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The homepage embeds a Sunlight Mountain model directly using a script tag and the <xyzski-mountain> element, rather than presenting only screenshots. Its visible demo maps 69 runs, three lifts, and nine glade zones, with run details available on hover. The site describes terrain bundles built from USGS 3DEP elevation data and OpenStreetMap, including 1 m source resolution and a roughly 490 KB bundle. It also lists resort plans from $199 to $799 per month.
